hey ladies,

Gomphosis

I know I am not posting these quite like I should to be able to use as flashcards or quiz yourself but still thought they might help with some homework questions and has all the quiz answers in them as well.

Happy studying ladies and Good luck. I wanted to say thanks for always being so kind and inviting me to the study sessions. I am sorry that I don’t come. I always feel like I will just hold you ladies back as y’all seem to grasp and understand this crap more so than myself. I don’t want to hold you guys back in study session bc I am not doing as well in this class as far as memorizing and understanding. I hope that explains why I have been absent in the study groups. Good luck on exam 3 and not sure if there is already a sixth person in your group for the 6 person test but if not I would be honored to be your number 6. 🙂 Y’all talk about it and get back to me if you already have a 6th person I understand. Hope these help you guys some like they have me. ~Katie Salyer~
